DUG Application and Whitelist FAQ

[PurePassion]

Hello everyone,

In this thread we will be answering the most common questions we receive and give you important information to make your application process for the DayzUnderground as smooth as possible.

Where do I apply to become a DUG member?

You apply through https://www.join.dayzunderground.com to become a part of the community. If you are accepted into our community and forum, you will automatically be whitelisted for our scheduled whitelist.

How long does it take to get accepted?

We review applications daily. It can take anywhere from 1-2 days to a week maximum.

How do I know if I got accepted?

We send everyone an e-mail

Can I play on your servers only if I’m a whitelisted community member?

No! Our servers might be classified as “private hives” and have a whitelist system when activated but that only means they are operating with a character hive database unique to our server alone. Everyone, regardless of application status, is welcomed to play on our 1PP servers with the IP

playUS.dayzunderground.com:2502


and enjoy a thriving environment of active admins, cheat protection and organic RP interaction with groups and factions in DayZ’s worldwide highest ranked 1PP servers when they are temporarily set to public access.
Our Teamspeak server with the IP ts3.dayzunderground.com:11617 is permanently open to the public.

The servers are either
OPEN to the public - You can join right now with the above IPs

WHITELISTED - Scheduled whitelist periods. Only accessible to whitelisted community members. The whitelist is shared across both servers. Apply through www.join.dayzunderground.com

The server title will always tell you when the servers whitelisted.

Whitelist schedule:https://www.dayzunderground.com/servers/

I have been denied, what now?

Going through applications is a bitter sweet process. It’s absolutely humbling to see the crazy amount of support we receive and the extremely motivated people applying to us every single day. However the reality of it all is that we simply cannot accept everyone and in fact only approve a small percentage as whitelisted community members.

DUG isn’t the be-all and end-all. DayZ offers a wide variety of experiences and not being accepted into the community doesn’t mean you won’t continue to have amazing experiences and meet interesting people. You are still welcomed to play on our servers when they are temporarily set to public, use our Teamspeak and interact with our community.
Be helpful to other people, both ingame and out of the game on reddit. Create, tell and share captivating stories! Wherever you find yourself, we hope you will be having fun! :)

We thank you for your support

The DayZ Underground Team

Why exactly are you locking down the server this tight? Why not accept a larger range of applications? I feel like this form of accepting is biased and generally unfair.

I agree with this person. Unless you submit a five paragraph essay for your character bio, you won't get in. I can tell you from experience that this isn't a good thing. Some people enjoy writing a long backstory before they even speak/act once as that character, and that is fine.
You also have to think of people that make a concept, play their character, and make up their story as they go. That personally is the most fun I've had with RP.
Whether be in a table-top or a modern video game.

Hey @Doctor Feels,

character essays are absolutely irrelevant to the application process. There isn't even a question asking for any :)

We don't force people into creating character backstories and you don't have to write one for your application. People who have their application accepted know what DUG stands for, want to join the community and actively contribute. Your application should simply reflect your dedication and commitment, specific to the community.
In your case, answers such as "I will defiantly contribute to the community. I've been looking for a good server to roleplay on for a while now. I'll play regularly and try to make a lasting impression on the server." are just too generic and do not give us enough information or confidence in a judgement. You are however of course welcome to re-apply.

@The Handsome Arrow While we have no definite age limit, we very, very rarley accept people younger than 17. Our average member is between 25 and 35 and in the application form we're making it clear that DUG is a community primarily for adults. 14 is too young for comfort, especially if we have no contact to a guardian.

Thanks to the server schedule you are however welcome to play when the DUG US/EU server are set to public.

If you cannot access our www.reddit.com/r/dayzunderground forum after longer than 2 weeks, we were unfortunately unable to approve your application.
Again, you are not required to message us and ask about your application status and we currently do NOT send out messages to declined applications.

[Pretoardo]

I've already apllied!, thank you guys

[v7toxics]

Can I ask for advice on how to up my chances of my application being accepted

[NonMortusEst]

I've just applied. *Fingers crossed.

[VICE]

So, if we aren't accepted, we're not allowed to re-apply?

[PurePassion]

@rider: No, anyone is welcome re-apply! :)

[Oddjam]

When I got to the final screen that said something like "how did you like this application process", I accidentally hit the back button and the tab my application was on closed. So I'm not sure if my book app went though, and I don't want to submit a second one.. is there any way to check to see if it was received, or do I just need to wait to see if I get the Reddit notification?
